I have wagered on countless of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have played online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of bankroll at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the game.
I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this tactic or beat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a game of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet on the table. If I succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a number of years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this technique! And a few months ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can say good-bye to a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the streaks you witness betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar table.
Bet $5
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the original $5 bet

Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar

Wager $80

Wager $80
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $160
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 1 hundred and 60 dollar wager
If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!
It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and drop your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
